Apple iCloud upgrade fees revealed

Apple unleashed the beta version of its iCloud service Monday, and those with access to it have published details about it, including the cost to upgrade to more storage.

All iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion users can get 5 GB of storage in iCloud for free, as Apple announced in June. But those who need a roomier cloud will also be able to pay $20 per year for 15 GB total, $40 per year for 25 GB total, or $100 per year to store 55 GB total.

Apple’s iCloud will allow iOS 5 and Lion users to sync their music, photos, apps, calendars, and more between multiple Apple devices. It won’t be officially released to the public until later this fall with the arrival of iOS 5.
